Wells Gray Park open to visitors after 16-day precautionary closure
KAMLOOPS — For 16 days employees of the Wells Gray Park Information Centre had to bear the bad news that the park was closed.
“The staff have been busy trying to find other things for them to do, trying to re-route holidays for people who fully expected to be in the park,” said Information Centre Manager, Tay Briggs. “Businesses have been losing bookings, accommodations have suffered, and actually people who had planned to be here even in August have canceled because there was no surety the park would be open.”
